I bought it. But to be able to read in landscape is a major feature for the next release... the characters are a little small for my eyes... ;-)

You can go to settings and change the font size.
I did notice while saying tehillim for the day today some of the letters that had dots (Tuf,Tes,Mem, and Hah ) don't look right, perhaps it's the font.

the dots were probably what is called the "Dagesh": a dot indicating extra sharpness in the pronunciation of a letter. For example, the nun without a dagesh is a simple nun, such as "anachnu" (we) while with a dagesh it would be a "held" nun, such as "shnot 'innnnnnnitanu"
whereas without a dagesh it would be "initanu". the first "innitanu" means "our affliction", while the latter "initanu" means "answering us."
the dagesh is usaully paid attention to only by knowledgable readers, but it is their subtlty which makes all the difference.
Rustybrick fonts make the dagesh look a little wierd....

My comment abvout rustybrick's fonts is in no way derrogative. Rusty brick is a great developer and its apps and programs are a great resource and are very helpful. Just one question, do any rustybrick products have taamei mikrah, or cantilation marks?
